The last ray of sunset finally disappeared in the distance of the sea level. As the night fell, darkness seemed to come from all directions, enveloping the demon island, adding a bit of mystery, as if it was more ferocious than the white sky
The shrill roar of beasts suddenly became louder and louder with the coming of night. It seemed that many white sleeping monsters had woken up in the night, walked out of their hiding place and roared to the sky against the vast night.
At the Changchang seawall in the south of the demon island, the big ship still stayed in place. At this time in Pingyue, they should have left the demon island and were on the way to Qingyu Island. On the deck, I don't know who lit a light and hung it beside the mast. Under the yellow light, everyone looked very solemn. Many people looked at Niu Xiong and Zeng Zhibai, the two elder martial brothers in Ningyuanjing, who were headed by the crowd.
The two men were standing at the side of the ship, staring at the demon island without saying a word. The vast dark end seemed to be covered in it. Niu Xiong, one of the two people with a bad temper, has already turned black. At a glance, he is anxious and manic, just like a volcano that will erupt at any time. Zeng Zhibai's face is also ugly. Different from the outside disciples in the gas refining region, the two of them, who are the descendants of Ningyuan, know more about what the Gan family means in the Lingxiao Clan than these younger martial brothers; And Ganze's identity, as well as the talent he has shown in the past three years, is beyond imagination.
The Gan family will never allow Ganze to have any accidents.
Lin Hu is a fool!
At this moment, whether Niu Xiong or Zeng Zhibo was scolding the same thing in their hearts, but they were watching the darkness getting thicker. According to the sect rules, they should have set sail to leave the demon island at this time. After all, the demon island at night is much more dangerous than Bai Yue, and even their disciples in Ningyuan will have a hard time coping with it.
But when they looked at each other, none of them could say that. They could not afford to leave the only heir of the Gan family.
Standing behind the crowd, Shen Shi clearly noticed that the atmosphere on the deck was becoming more and more solemn, and even gradually became nervous. In addition to Niu Xiong and Zeng Zhibo, who were standing on the side of the foremost boat, the remaining more than 20 Qi refining realm disciples began to feel uneasy as the night came after the initial silence.
Finally, someone in the crowd lost his composure and asked, "Senior Brother Niu and Senior Brother Zeng, it's getting dark. When are we going to stay here?"
As soon as this was said, someone started, and at that moment, many people agreed with him. They all asked. Niu Xiong and Zeng Zhibai looked at each other, and their faces were ugly. They don't know the thoughts of these disciples in the refining state. For many years, disciples have been forbidden to stay at night on the demon island. What they do is that some monsters that appear at night are very fierce and dangerous. However, the ship stayed at the sea wall for a long time, and no one could guarantee that those legendary powerful monsters would directly touch the ship in the dark.
When your family name is in danger, who cares what kind of noble family you are? What's more, it seems to have nothing to do with them. It is likely that Ganze or even Lin Hu did it himself. Many of the disciples in the gas refining realm are indignant. After all, they are inexplicably in such a dangerous situation, and no one will be happy.
In the eyes of everyone, Rao Shih niu Xiong and Zeng Zhibai are a bit taller than others, and they can't stand it for a moment. The disciples of the refining realm who can come to the demon island to catch demons will never be worse. It is very likely that some of them will be promoted to the condensate realm in the future. One of them is not well disposed of today, and I'm afraid they will end up with a grudge later.
Niu Xiong couldn't stand it for a moment. He gritted his teeth and turned to look at Zeng Zhibo. He looked at Zeng Zhibo with some inquiry in his eyes, but Zeng Zhibo smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly. He said softly, "You can't go. I really have to go. If something happens, Lin Hu will definitely blame us."
Niu Xiong took a deep breath. He felt that his chest was stifled. It seemed that his breath was blocked there. He felt uncomfortable. He cursed: "The dog is talking about Lin Hu!"
Seeing that they were quiet, many of the disciples of the refining area on the deck also showed a layer of anger. No one was a fool. Everyone knew why they were still staying on the demon island when it was dark tonight. What's more, many people thought that if they were delayed on the island for some reason and didn't come back at this time, they were afraid that the big ship might not wait like this, We have already set sail back.
It seems that the gap between people and the uneven situation have never been so obvious to the public. In the dark night, the atmosphere on the ship has been extremely suppressed. Suddenly, a woman came out of the crowd. It was Chen Tang. She was angry with Niu Xiong and Zeng Zhibai
"Two elder martial brothers, I have something to ask you."
Niuxiong gritted his teeth and did not speak. Zeng Zhibai looked ugly, glanced at the angry crowd and said with a wry smile: "Tell me."
Chen Tang took a deep breath and said proudly, "Two elder martial brothers, do you think that the lives of more than twenty younger martial brothers and sisters in our ship are not equal to that of one elder martial brother Gan, so we should risk our lives to wait here all the time?"
As soon as this remark was made, the disciples of the refining state behind her suddenly burst out as if they were lit up. Suddenly, many people began to speak in anger and indignation. They were all heckling the two elder martial brothers of Ningyuanjing.
Rao Shiniuxiong and Zeng Zhibai are not strangers to the scene, but they can't bear to face the angry accusations and inquiries of more than 20 younger martial brothers and sisters at once. What's more, this matter is deserved first, and they themselves feel they can't explain it, and they don't know how to explain it.
Under the criticism of others, Niu Xiong's face was pale and blue, and his anger flashed. He seemed to be about to open his mouth when he took a step, but Zeng Zhibai, who was beside him, grabbed him and said in a low voice, "Elder martial brother, I dare not take things personally."
Niuxiong scratched his head anxiously, but hesitated and said angrily, "What do you want to do?"
Zeng Zhibo was also tongue tied and speechless. The two were like ants at the kitchen counter. Suddenly, they heard a sharp and piercing scream from the depths of the demon island. The sound was like thunder and rumbled. It seemed that the whole demon island was shaking.
The fierce meaning in the howling sound seemed to come to us. Even if we were so far away, people on the ship also changed their colors, and a number of disciples in the refining state showed some fear.
Niu Xiong and Zeng Zhibai both changed their faces. They were speechless for a while. After a moment, Zeng Zhibai spoke in a low voice, but his voice seemed to be a little hoarse, saying:
"Well, is that the 'ghost king'?"
Niuxiong bit his teeth a little and said angrily: "Lin Hu is full of mud in his head. He is so stupid that he dared to take Brother Gan to the demon hunting cave without saying anything, and he will stay until the night!"
Zeng Zhibo looked pale and said in a low voice: "Even our disciples in Ningyuan State will retreat when the ghost king comes out, and they will fall here if they are not careful. I'm afraid that only Elder Martial Brother Wang Gen can defeat this fierce ghost on the whole herring island. What should we do? Why don't we go back to tell Elder Martial Brother Wang and ask him to come to save people?"
Niuxiong gnashed his teeth and said, "Come back. I'm afraid Younger Martial Brother Gan has no bones left."
Zeng Zhibo wanted to say something more, but suddenly they both looked up at the same time, and a red light flashed through the night in the depths of the demon island.
Although it was weak, most of the people on the big ship always paid attention to that side, but most of them saw it. In the deep night, this red light seemed particularly dazzling and strange.
Niuxiong stared at the night sky after the red light had disappeared over there, with a surprise, and said: "What is that?"
Zeng Zhibo also shook his head in a daze. Niuxiong came back two steps anxiously, and suddenly seemed determined. He said, "Younger Martial Brother Zeng, you should take a boat of people back to Qingyu Island, and then go to find Elder Martial Brother Wang to fight the demon and save people. I'll go to the demon hunting hole on the island to see if I can help you delay it as much as possible."
Zeng Zhibo was shocked and said, "Elder martial brother, this is too dangerous. You..."
Niu Xiong smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think I will? It's impossible. You are not as good as me. Who else will I not go? The situation is urgent now. Don't delay any more."
Zeng Zhibo took a deep look at him and knew that Niu Xiong was telling the truth. He nodded heavily at the moment. Then he stepped up and said in a very low voice: "Elder martial brother, you should be careful. If there is any danger, you should take your own name seriously."
Niuxiong nodded and said, "I know."
After that, Niu Xiong turned his head and looked at those disciples in the refining area again. He hesitated. Finally, he sighed, shook his head, pressed the side of the boat without saying a word, and jumped down, then quickly snatched away to the depths of the demon island.
His action immediately aroused a stir from everyone on the deck. Many more people ran to the side of the ship to see Niu Xiong's back, then turned to look at Zeng Zhibai with confusion.
Zeng Zhibai looked pale. He finally took a look at Niu Xiong's back and turned around. At this moment, he didn't know how many times he had scolded Lin Hu and greeted his ancestors for more than 18 generations. Then he shouted:
"Stand well and return to Qingyu Island!"
※※※
Under the night, the sea breeze was strong. The ship turned around and slowly turned back to the direction of the Black Fish Island in the dark.
On the deck, everyone was silent. At first, they asked the two elder martial brothers why they couldn't wait and put everyone in danger. But they still understood why this happened. To tell the truth, it's no wonder that Niu Xiong and Zeng Zhibai were the two elder martial brothers.
After seeing Niu Xiong risking his family name to enter the island at night, he thought he knew why he left. Ping Yue, although Niu Xiong was a little grumpy, he took care of these younger martial brothers and sisters. For a while, people were worried. But under the darkness, listening to the animals' roaring and shrieking on the demon island, everyone could not speak.
The atmosphere is so cold that it seems that even the sea breeze is going to blow into the bone marrow. Shen Shi sits quietly in the corner of the deck, looks up at the vast night, and has no expression on his face. He doesn't know what he is thinking at the moment.
It was at this time that he suddenly narrowed his pupils and saw a flash of sword in the dark sky, which was as fast as lightning, lighting up the sky. It passed through the night sky like the wind, and rushed towards the demon island like a roaring meteor.
